QLD city is pleased with Sharon (9)
I believe the answer is:
gladstone
'qld city' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'pleased with sharon' is the wordplay.
'pleased' becomes 'glad' (similar in meaning).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'sharon' becomes 'stone' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'glad'+'stone'='GLADSTONE'
'is' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gladstone that I've seen before include "Bag for a former British statesman" , "British statesman, four times PM, d. 1898" , "Former British prime minister and large travelling bag" , "Victorian PM" , "Old English P.M. or a doctor's bag" .)
